You can use a credit or debit card during the online application process. The online application displays a check option, but please do not mail checks to the department or other university offices. Please complete all portions of the online application, especially the Previous Institutions Attended section. We need to know if you earned a degree at a particular institution and your attempted and earned hours for each institution. RL Letters of Recommendation can only be submitted online via the Graduate School’s Admission Application site. Please do not tell recommendation writers to mail letters to the department. The Graduate School’s online application will ask you for four references and an email address for each. You must include email addresses in order for the writer to be able to submit a letter.You must enter complete information for each reference; name, title, institution, and education/certification if available. Some recommenders will not include this information in their letter, and this makes it challenging to know why they are in a position to recommend an applicant to graduate study. Most faculty know to include this information but others may not. Upon payment of the application fee, the Admission Application system will send a secure link to your references via email. When your recommenders log into the online recommendation form, they will be asked to complete a rating list and to provide a narrative. We prefer that they upload a letter using their own letterhead. You will receive an automatic confirmation email for each letter submitted. Transcript For review and decision purposes you are required to upload an unofficial copy of your transcript(s) in the online application. We require one copy of the scanned transcript from each undergraduate and graduate institution that you attended. This includes community colleges, summer sessions, and extension programs. While credits from one institution may appear on the transcript of a second institution, unofficial transcripts must be submitted from each institution, regardless of the length of attendance, and whether or not courses were completed. Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university.
